Hotel desperately need an update on all amenities. The rooms are dated and old. Everything is just a bit run down. The pool bar is screaming for help. I went to order a drink and took one look at the ice machine and said no mould to that mould infestation. The staff look and act as unmotivated as the dated amenities. The only real cafe serves C grade deep fried food. It’s incredibly disappointing. The hotel is nice enough to create a relaxing vibe and the location is a 10! Right on the water. So nice waking up to the sound of the ocean. But yeh overall that hotel is a 3 star at most.

The resort is in general in a very poor state. While there seems to have been a soft refurb of some rooms and the Zephyr restaurant, I’m glad I only stayed one night. This must have been a beautiful property in its day but appears to have been left to neglect. No one seems in charge. The staff are lovely & the setting is spectacular, with a great pool. Didn’t feel clean at all. It screamed backpacker. It wasn’t that bad but I had to get my backpacker mindset on to enjoy.

The resort id a bit dated and at times a bit unclean but who cares. The island is fantastic. When the day trippers left we virtually had the island to ourselves. The staff were wonderful. Special mentions Hannah reception, the wonderful woman in the dive shop, her kindness in helping us with snorkels and stinger suits and Francesco at the bar. Hannah was so kind making sure we got home from a challenging hike. We loved it so much we stayed a day longer. Thank you all for a wonderful trip.

Island style! Super quiet as the resort is the only place on the island and surrounded by steep hills and dense tropical jungle. Not much to do in the evening but the restaurant offers a limited but very creative menu. Room was spacious with a separate dining and sitting areas and all the rooms had a water view along with the deck as well. Very peaceful. There was great snorkeling only steps away from the room. Also a number of fairly challenging hikes in the park with surprisingly well maintained trails. Lots of steps!! A great workout, Large and sparsely used beaches although they are mostly coral so foot ware is required and the soft sandy spots are few. You want a quiet tropical island escape, Fitzroy Island is for you.

It's a lovely island with snorkelling right off the beach and some enjoyable walks and views. The cheaper eating place (Foxy's) still has high quality food and the staff are amazing there and at the resort. The expensive restaurant (Zephyrs) has a minimum spend of $60 per person which seems a shame as it is in a lovely and convenient position but isn't so popular.

Nowhere near “luxury “, more like a run down budget hostel. Extortionate prices. Dreadful food. No room service cleaning or refresh in 5 days!! Unbelievable when paying $636 per night! no wifi but advertised wifi in every room. No bedside lamps. No door mat so you drag dirt in. Bed was lumpy and uncomfortable . No netting or privacy y screening with large numbers of day tourists traipsing past the cabin on an access road. False advertising for example “sunset cruise with drinks and nibbles” , was a silly excision 10m from beach for 30 mins…No nibbles or drinks in sight. The pub is filthy, outdated and ridiculously expensive with little choice. $53 for a bottle of wine that would cost 16$AUD at a bottle-o. No healthy or vegan options. Be prepared for utter disappointment. It’s an embarrassment to Queensland tourism.

Beautiful island with lots of options for activities. Sea turtles easy to spot when snorkeling. Facilities a bit run down as mentioned in previous reviews but did not hinder enjoyment of location and use of facilities. Room could have been cleaned a bit more thoroughly especially bathroom but again nothing that took away enjoyment of stay. Restaurant meal was excellent for both dinner and breakfast and cafe was also terrific. Fantastic service from staff especially by check in and out. Excursions to turtle hospital and glass bottom boat definitely worthwhile. Great to have kitchen in room. We have one child with significant food issues so took a full suitcase of food and that was worthwhile as little store stocks effectively no groceries only chips, icebreaker and souvenirs. Made a huge difference to our stay knowing we could make meals for her that she could eat. Overall would highly recommend especially for families. In one sense being a bit run down meant it had a more relaxing vibe especially with young kids. Also was able to get a great coffee daily at the cafe. We would definitely go again.
